AST have done it again, there is no confirmation on how good their new supplement is but it sounds amazing. As far as marketing and facts go if AST say something the chance of it actually being honest and true is quite high. Urso-X is a all in one muscle building fat burning dose of Ursolic Acid. There is quite a bit of research backing this single ingredient, the only other product that they have that makes claims this big is DHEA
and that delivers. Here is a bit direct from AST themselves.
“To follow up the first study researchers sought to confirm ursolic acid’s anabolic potential. When ursolic acid was added to the food of normal mice for a period of 5 weeks, their muscles grew significantly greater and faster. A five-week course of ursolic acid resulted in 15% greater muscle growth than the control mice not consuming ursolic acid. And the mice getting the ursolic acid grew measurably stronger than the control mice. Scientists confirmed through muscle biopsies and microscopic analysis that actual muscle fiber thickening had occurred – muscle hypertrophy. Bigger, stronger – faster.“
The supplement is available now straight from the brand, like all their individual ingredient products, Urso-X is quite well priced. When the regular retailers start stocking it the price should be between $20-30, and that is one bottle, 180 capsules, four weeks worth. However they recommend taking it for just 6 weeks then cycling off for 1-2, so three bottles will have you building muscle for about 4 months. Usually things like this get blown off and do not deserve a second look, but when the inventors of whey protein concentrate have something to say you should definitely listen.
